The Heraklion Archaeological Museum regarded as one of the most important museums in Europe, is located in the center of Iraklion or Heraklion city. During the Venetian occupation period the Catholic Monastery of Saint Francisco used to be in the same place. Until it's destruction in the earthquake of 1856, it had been one of the richest and most important monasteries in Crete and had contained great Byzantine frescos.
The construction of the Heraklion Archaeological Museum started in the beginning of the 20th century and was completed by 1940.
On the ground floor of the museum there are 13 rooms open to the public while on the 1st floor fragments of the original frescos from the Minoan Palace of Knossos are exhibited. All exhibits in the Heraklion Museum come exclusively from archaeological sites in Crete. The exhibits of the museum are arranged chronologically.

Brief History of the Apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe
The well authenticated story of the five apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary is briefly related here:
1st Apparition: At dawn on December 9, 1531, Juan Diego, an Indian convert, was going to Tlatelolco to attend catechism class and hear the Mass. As he was passing Tepeyac Hill, he saw a brilliant light on the summit and heard the strains of celestial music. Filled with wonder, he stopped. Then he heard a feminine voice asking him to ascend. When he reached the top he saw the Blessed Virgin Mary standing in the midst of a glorious light, in heavenly splendor. The beauty of her youthful countenance and her look of loving kindness filled Juan Diego with unspeakable happiness as he listened to the words which she spoke to him in his native language. She told him she was the perfect and eternal Virgin Mary, Mother of the true God, and made known to him her desire that a shrine be built there where she could demonstrate her love, her compassion and her protection. "For I am your merciful Mother", she said, "to you and to all mankind who love me and trust in me and invoke my help. Therefore, go to the dwelling of the Bishop in Mexico City and say that the Virgin Mary sent you to make known to him her great desire."
2nd Apparition: The Bishop was reluctant to believe Juan Diego's story. Juan returned to Tepeyac Hill where he found the Blessed Virgin waiting for him, and told her of his failure. She bade him return to the Bishop the next day and repeat her wishes.
3rd Apparition: The Bishop then requested that the Lady give him a sign. Juan reported that evening and she promised to grant his petition on the following morning. But Juan was prevented from coming because of a sudden and severe illness of his uncle, Juan Bernardino.
4th Apparition: Two days later, on December 12, as he was going to the Church at Tlatelolco in order to bring a priest to his dying uncle, Juan Diego was stopped by the Lady, who had come down from Tepeyac Hill to meet him in the road. She listened quietly to Juan's excuse for not having kept his appointment with her the day before. When he had finished speaking she said, "It is well, littlest and dearest of my sons, but now listen to me. Do not let anything afflict you and be not afraid of illness or pain. Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Are you not in the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need? Do not fear for your uncle for he is not going to die. Be assured... he is already well."
Having heard these words, Juan Diego rejoiced and asked for the sign he was to take to the Bishop. He was told to climb to the top of the hill where she had spoken to him on three previous occasions. She said he would find many flowers blooming there which he was to cut and bring to her. Juan Diego did as he was told though he knew no flowers had ever bloomed before on the stony summit. He discovered a marvelous garden of dew-fresh blossoms which he cut as she had asked. Placing them in his rough cloak, or tilma, he brought the flowers to the Lady who rearranged them and told him to take them to the Bishop; that this was the sign to persuade him to carry out her wishes.

Fifty-two physical therapy students, members of the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Class of 2016, started the clinical studies portion of their journey to become doctors of physical therapy this week at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences. The students received white coats at the Entrance Into Professional Service Ceremony held at the Alerus Center on July 17.
This week, we recorded the stories of 12 local activists who dared to change the world. We interviewed members of the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN), our grassroots political action group.
This photo set covers our production for the video interviews we shot at my home studio over two days: Sunday, August 27 and Saturday, September 2, 2017. Here are the MVCAN members we talked to on Sunday: Natalie Frederick, Peter Graumann, June Cooperman, Susan Bolle, Suz Lipman and Carol Korenbrot. On Saturday, we spoke with Danny Altman, Laura Boles, Matt Jaffe, Lisa Ristorucci, Eileen Fisher and Bernard Catalinotto
We talked about their reactions to recent news events and how they took political action in response. The interviews show each activist against a black background, head and shoulders only, with great lighting. They were expertly shot by our friend Gary Yost, a talented filmmaker, as a labor of love.
We will edit a number of videos from those interviews in October: a year-in-review montage and short vignettes and community profiles. These videos will premiere in our November event, and will be shared on the MVCAN site and through social media at that time.
Our activists found their voice and spoke up, loud and clear. We hope they will inspire more people to take political action. Their acts of resistance did more than just liberate them: they can engage millions more to stand up for liberty and justice.
Join your neighbors to keep democracy alive!

Crowds fill the streets of Washington as protests over the killing of George Floyd continue around the country. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a black man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. During an arrest, Derek Chauvin, a white American police officer, kept his knee on the side of Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down. During the last three minutes, Floyd was motionless. After Floyd's death, demonstrations and protests against racism and police brutality were held across the US and the world, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the movement and gathering restrictions put in place by governments to prevent the spread of the coronavirus

A large number of cavers visiting the non-archaeological parts of the cave - the chamber acts as a hibernaculum for one of the species of bats endemic to the Cave at Maroneia - the so-called Cave of the Cyclops.
The cave is situated in nummulitic limestone. It has two main routes inside - one of which has archaeological interest and the other geological and biospeleological interest. The cave is home to more than 15 endemic species (not found anywhere else in the world) of which the two are bats. The archaeological finds are also rather significant because they date to the early Neolithic and could therefore throw some light on the whole spread of agriculture / animal husbandry question. The dig is protected, and has been for some years, by a locked door which permits the bats to enter and exit.
We had the opportunity to visit as a group in June 2008 as part of the proceedings of the second Balkan Speleo-Reunion Camp which was organised on behalf of the Balkan Speleo Union by the Hellenic Federation of Speleology.

About Vatican City
Perhaps the Vatican needs no introduction. The center of Catholicism, and encompassing the Vatican City state, as well as the surrounding Roman neighborhoods of the Vaticano, Prati, and Monte Mario, this small slice of the city is packed with more history and artwork than most cities in the world.
For the week I will be posting some works of my good friend Patrick Cheah who went on a journey to witness the ceremony of the beatification of John Paul II, the biggest event in Vatican City since his death six years ago. His journey starts from Milan.
A selection of Patrick's images will appear on my stream this week while I take a short break. You will surely find them interesting and compelling as much as I do. Hope you will enjoy my selection as I post them in stages. Mr Cheah has graciously allowed me to showcase some of his shots for public viewing at my discretion.
Thank you all again for following my stream and I apologise that I am unable to keep up with so many kind comments.

On one of my days in Cork it rained so much that at times it was almost impossible to take any photographs. I decided to visit St. Luke’s Wine Tavern and stayed until about 10pm but by the time that I had returned to my hotel room there was a slight break in the weather so I decided to put on my rain gear and wander around the Montenotty area and photograph anything that might be of interest.For various reasons I decide to use my 15mm Voightlander but unfortunately while fitting I managed to introduce some very large dust particles that proved impossible to remove until I returned to Dublin.
Because it was dark and as it was raining and because of the dust problem my photographs turned out to suffer noise and this impacted on the quality of the images.
Montenotte is an area in the north-east of Cork City, Ireland, which had an influx of wealthier merchants and a prosperous middle classes in the early to mid-19th century. Situated on a hill facing south over the River Lee, Montenotte acquired numerous substantial residences, some of them set in miniature estates graced with fine terraced gardens. Its favourable outlook was downgraded by the development of large-scale industry in the Marina area across the river in the early 20th century. Many of the larger houses now have institutional uses, or have been divided into apartments.
Some people would describe the area as ‘run down” or past its best but I must admit that I like the area. Saint Luke is considered the patron saint of painters which is somewhat appropriate as there is an artistic or boho feel to the area.
Wellington Terrace is a short cul de sac dog-leg row at the start of straggling, sandstone ridge-clinging Grattan Hill, beloved of Thackery who wrote lovingly two centuries ago about the vista, aspect, river views and genteel shabbiness and local gayety. All of which it still enjoys, by the way.

One of the many fine posters issued by the London & North Eastern Railway who were widely acknowleged as being amongst the leaders in the quality and breadth of the publicity and advertising. Dating from 1934 and by William Lee Hankey this poster advertises the charms of the near Continent and the town of Dordrecht in the Netherlands.
The LNER had acquired the steamer services and port at Harwich (Parkeston Quay) from the Great Eastern Railway at Grouping in 1923. The Railway marketed this link to the Continent, along with services from other East England ports, as competition to the near monopoly the Southern Railway had from south coast ports. The steamer services ran to both Flushing for daytime crossings, and Hook of Holland using the night services. Harwich was well connected then to both London and to provincial stations via through trains.
